gcov: disable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS when not needed by CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at kernel init time. According to commit b99b87f ("kernel: constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this. However, CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS currently defaults to y, with no option to disable it, and CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL depends on it. Instead, default it to n and have CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n. Observed in the short list of =y values in a minimal kernel configuration.
